Jesus...the background music, enuff already!

[@nicola-socialmediasuccess8687]

Very interesting story!

[@cre8gnr8nrg]

Use to drink the Green Fairy in Mexico (TJ) It's been a while but probably still there. Good drink but learned not to drink too much as it hits hard.

[@drinkdestinations]

cre8gnr8nrg 💯💯💯💯 agree.

[@angrypastabrewing]

I know a guy who makes it everything from starch. Even fermented the sugar with those ingredients to make the alcohol and distill it to make absinthe

[@springsogourne]

Drink it in the Oscar Wilde Lounge in London - they do it right.

Sandii 4u sounds amazing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dirkietje8]

Hemingway Bar in Prague as well. They even have vintage absinthes worth 60 a glass.

Very, very nice drink. Use to take it whit orange juicy. It’s magnificent! Kind regards from Portugal.

[@drinkdestinations]

mafelas mafelas I always tell people if they don’t like anise or black licorice taste, then they won’t like the product. Mixing with things like orange juicy would be interesting. Thanks. -Jeff

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder!

I like the concept, but the music sucks, PBD. I love this page and some of it's content has changed my life. The content in this video, the videography, they were both great. But the music... need something with more soul. This is something I'd play for a teen, I feel like the music should be a more raw, more feeling. This brand of electro-pop is as flat as the Earth is round.

I have never bought into the myth that absinthe can "drive one crazy." Exaggeration.

[@drinkdestinations]

chironapolonio At it’s height, Absinthe was the best selling product on the market and was beating wine sales. People in the wine industry exposed thujone, the ingredient that makes or drives you “crazy” and they were able to ban the product. -Jeff

[@chironapolonio]

@@drinkdestinations Ah; I see. Great videos.

[@movessmitt6427]

@@drinkdestinations Nah, Thujone, while psychoactive, a GABA-a agonist, won't drive you crazy. If you have too much of the distilled oil, you'll seize like strychnine until you either recover or die. Alcohol in itself is an antidote to too much thujone, as it calms the receptors being excited. Also, emergency Valium/benzo is good to have if dealing with thujone. Mild wormwood doses are okay. It is only dangerous at about 30mg per kg, with the average wormwood absinthe containing maybe 6mg.

[@TheChubbaa]

Is this company listed?

[@cobaltdistortion421]

I don't drink alcohol, I wouldn't really care about this but atleast you do you.

[@movessmitt6427]

It's still an interesting thing, a drink no different than anything else, banned for a hundred years, made in secret. It's a folk industry.
